American singer-songwriter Kehlani has dropped a new song “Nights Like This” with the accompanying music video, featuring American rapper Ty Dolla $ign.
The song was premiered on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show. It was written by Elliott Trent and Kehlani.
“I love Ty. We’ve made songs and it just hasn’t come out because it hasn’t been the time,” she said of the song. “This was just the perfect time for us both to finally put something out.”
She will release a new mixtape in February. “I’m not making no more pop songs on you hoes. I’m over it,” she wrote an Instagram Live session. “You’re not getting any pop records from me, and if you do, just know it wasn’t my fault.”
She is also working on a new album, which was inspired by her parents and will be released this fall. “My next official album is a story. I’m telling stories I’ve never told,” she said. “It’s my parents’ story articulated into mine, articulated into a gift for my daughter, so she knows where she comes from.”
